Ten tales of wonder, danger, and the future--including the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning title story--from the science fiction Grand Master. This volume contains ten stellar short stories by Clifford D. Simak, "the most underrated great science fiction writer alive" (Theodore Sturgeon). In "Grotto of the Dancing Deer," a man carrying an ancient secret finally speaks up, unable to bear any longer the loneliness he has experienced for millennia. In "Over the River," which Simak wrote in memory of his beloved grandmother Ellen, children from an embattled future are sent back for safekeeping to their ancestors in the peaceful past. And in "Day of Truce," the inhabitants of a suburban subdivision must barricade themselves against bands of roving attackers. On only one day each year do the gates open wide . . .   Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.… (plus d'informations)

Simak wrote science fiction during the same era as John Wyndham, one of my favorite authors, and this set of volumes has a similar feel. I've previously read Volume 1, which I thought was a better collection, but there are still some very entertaining stories here. The only caveat is the inclusion of western stories, present in both volumes. I do think most people read Simak for the genre in which they're interested, and in my case that's sci fi, so I skipped the westerns.

When reading mid-century sci fi the readers needs to accept that scientific fact is not necessarily going to be adhered to (for me that's part of the fun). Simak was no different, and it's a matter of whether a reader likes what is really rather pleasant but light-weight science fiction. It's nice to have SImak's stories all together, but perhaps the western stories might have fared better in a volume of their own. ( )
